drutgat and maybe others who are interested to know.
I have a fast NVMe SSD, which is several times faster than standard SSD SATA.
For the sake of the test, I made a partition with 30 GB overhead and moved RT and RD to new partition. Made no difference at all in render times.
Within 14 second rendering time my CPU and HD did not peak over 35%. Memory used by BIAB did not exceed 310 megabytes under the stress test.
I am not too tech savvy, but from the information I gathered it has to do with how the RT/RD files are handled. From my understanding, with every rendering/change BIAB goes to original source files and does does something inside the program, not utilizing computer resources well. So I believe, you can have a rocket fast computer, but render speeds would not change much until PG changes code to optimize how RT/RD are handled.
P.S. drutgat, If you are planning to buy external SSD for BIAB, look into NVMe SSD, not a regular SATA SSD. Rustyspoon (Mike?), This is very useful indeed. Thanks so much. I had actually just started (a few days ago) to wonder about NVMe SSD's and had taken a brief look at NVMe SSDs, wanting to investigate more. I am definitely go in this direction, rather than a SATA based SSD for my system drive.

Thanks drutgat, interesting article.
Rumors abound that Bob was interested in buying Merle Haggard's ranch which is nearby. I was hoping to simply 'drop in' on Bob but Merle's death dashed all hopes.
Hi Don, That is a shame. Here are another couple of suggestions (links) Dylan's UK Agent And here is the info. I found about his US based representatives (which you may already have, and have tried to use to contact him) Bob Dylan's Manager Jeff Kramer OK Management 275 South Beverly Drive Suite 215 Beverly Hills, CA 90212 Phone: 310-535-1647 Bob Dylan's Agent Brian Greenbaum Creative Artists Agency 2000 Avenue Of The Stars Los Angeles, CA 90067 Phone: 424-288-2000 Bob Dylan's Production Agent Sony/Columbia/CBS Records 550 Madison Avenue New York, NY 10022 Phone: 212-833-7305 Bob Dylan's Law Firm Manatt Phelps & Phillips 11355 West Olympic Boulevard Los Angeles, CA 90064 Phone: 310-312-4000

I would probably go with Samsung. I have seen, the price had dropped significantly on 1Tb NVMe SSD recently. Used to be crazy expensive.
Best regards,
Mike.

Enter another problem... being mute, I can't use the phone. You are beginning to see the insurmountable obstacles that I encounter. My main means of communication is via email. I seriously doubt if these sources are willing to be Bob's answering service. I would gladly try email if I had their email addresses. Thanks for trying though.

Hi Don, I did not realize that you are mute. It seems that all of the branches of CAA (the agency which represents both Bob and Jakob), do not publish any form of email addresses for any of their agents or other employees, which I can understand now that I think about it. However, I found a link on the CAA page to a form which seems to ask about what kind of 'business' one has with Bob. I am including the link to this form, and have not gone further with it. Bob Dylan CAA page I wonder if there is also a way to get something to Jakob without going through CAA. Don't forget that these days these are the channels to contact these people. If you fill out the form above and there is space to do so, I would say that you are trying to contact Brian Greenbaum (his actual agent at CAA), and that you are mute, so email is the only way that you can communicate. I would also include the details you have discussed here about being in HS with Zimmy (mention the name of the HS), and mention the names of other friends of his or mutual friends or yours - things that make you sound plausible and authentic. And of course mention the intro./riff that you taught him. Good luck, and if I come up with any other suggestions I will let you know.
